Kate Rooney Mara is an iconic American actress born in Bedford, New York, on February 27, 1983. The sensational actress is 5ft 2 and was definitely blessed with striking looks. Kate was born to Timothy Cristopher Mara, an NFL scout and the vice president of the New York Giants, and Kathleen McNulty Mara. She has three other siblings, Daniel, Patricia, and Conor. Kate comes from a family full of success. One of her great-granddads was the founder of the New York Giants, Tim Mara, while her second granddad was the founder of the Pittsburgh Steelers, Art Rooney, Sr. She understandably could not choose between either team and therefore supports both.
